Not the most enjoyable event but a few results that put a smile of my face.
Without checking the predictions id reckon the people picking Cung to win were few and far betweem. Rich was being asked about a 3rd Anderson fight before this one...
Fair play to Cung, I still think he could make 170lbs but if he isnt interested in cutting Brian Stann would be an ideal opponent. (Or Maby Leben if he wins against Vermola) I say at 40 get him fighting asap, I know his foot was hurt or something but Id like to see him kept active and see what damage he can do in the UFC before he is too old.
Good to see Thiago Silva win, those Blackzillians are on a tear! Personally id like to see him vs Jimmo next. Dull fight but he got a tasty sub to finish. He just got wall and stalled too much, Something im sure that wont take too much work to adjust.
Gomi winning was amazing, with 2 back to back wins his place in the UFC is secure, now he needs to work his way back up. Barboza would be a great opponent or maby Guillard/Varner winner if they arent moving on to bigger and better things. I want someone who will really stand and slug with Gomi, he hasnt a long career left and id want to see him in a few firefights before he hangs em up.
Tuck looked good, he isnt really on the radar though and cant help feel he was on the main card because he was fighting an chineese fighter.
Dong Hyun Kim called for a Maia rematch, Fluke win or not the 1st time I dont think beating P.Thiago puts him on Maia's level one fight later, personally id like to see if Siyar could take his head off.
Mizugaki dominated, he has alternated between wins and losses for his last to fights but always looses to top guys, likewise Ive only see Raphael Assuncao loose to the best, id like to see a clash of styles and see if either one of them is ready for something bigger again.
